Memorial Day Weekend

Pearl Carter of Marion, Mass., runs into the waves at Narragansett Town Beach.

Let the sunbathing and bodysurfing begin. Memorial Day weekend is the official start of the beach season. While the state opened its beaches on weekends two weeks ago, from this weekend on the beaches are open daily, with lifeguards on duty 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. through Labor Day.
So plant your family flag, umbrella or big beach towel. With more than 400 miles of shoreline, you've got a large pick of places, from fresh water to salt water, secluded to crowded.

Memorial Day Commemoration

Thursday through Monday, May 22-26

FRIDAY: Bristol, Program Honoring All Veterans, Veterans Memorial Garden, 2:30 pm. Rain site is Reynolds School.
